Appologies to the WeeWX for discussing Meteobridge in the WeeWX user group....but I didn't bring it up. I feel that all these different software do not necessarily compete with each other but rather that they can coexist. I enjoy running all the various software simultaneously. I get a little different thing from each. It is very fortuitous that the GW1000 API allows multiple software/devices to simultaneously get live data.
